Siegecraft. War, destruction, sheep.

Area iOS game developer Crescent Moon Games has done it again. Their latest creation, Siegecraft is a beautifully rendered tower defense game, where you shoot arrows and sling projectiles (including poor defenseless sheep) at enemy forces as they make their way toward you.

Sounds simple, right? It’s not. At all.

Taking place in a world fit for console games like Fable, Siegecraft is gorgeous, with bloom lighting, detailed textures, and focus effects to give the game a ton of depth. It’s pretty. Real pretty.

Another feature I’m dying to try, but alas have no game playing friends, is the turn-based multiplayer that is only possible in iOS 5. Which brings me to my last point: I love that Crescent Moon is trying new genres and functionality like this. In a world of endless puzzlers with too cute to live characters, they have been churning out game after game exploring different styles and genres with every release. Siegecraft is fun, easy to pick up and play, and only .99 cents.
